Plan the Right Alpamare Scarborough Visit Before You Pay
Most searches for Scarborough water park Alpamare price, ticket price, opening times or family tickets need one clear answer: choose your exact date on the official Alpamare ticket page before trusting any old voucher or price screenshot.
This guide helps you check whether Alpamare Scarborough is open, compare live tickets, understand the 3-hour session, plan food, lockers, slides, parking and child supervision, and avoid the mistakes that waste paid swim time.
Do not plan from an old voucher page. Alpamare’s own ticket page says visitors should select a date to view ticket prices, and the official Plan Your Visit page says opening and closing times vary through the year.
- Ticket time: waterpark tickets include 3 hours of access, subject to closing time.
- Extra time: listed at £1 per half-hour, per person.
- Family planning: child slide access depends on height, age and confidence, not only ticket category.
- Food: outside food and drink are not allowed, so check Hydro Café timing and budget before travel.

Scarborough Water Park Alpamare Price, Ticket Price and Family Ticket Guide
Alpamare prices are selected-date examples, not one fixed year-round number. Use this table to understand the official categories, then open the ticket page and select your date before paying.
| Ticket / rule | Official-source detail | Best visitor action |
|---|---|---|
| Adult ticket | Adult category is listed as 15 and over. Date examples on the ticket page show different adult prices by season/session. | Count anyone aged 15+ as adult category, then check the exact date price. |
| Child ticket | Child category is listed as 4-14. Slide access also depends on height and age rules. | Check both ticket category and slide height before promising big rides. |
| Toddler ticket | Toddler category is listed as 0-3, with date-based pricing examples. | Pack swim nappies for children who are not toilet trained. |
| Alpamare family ticket | Family ticket examples are shown for 2 adults + 2 children; the ticket page also shows family examples in different session bands. | Compare your exact group. One extra adult, child or toddler can change the value. |
| 3-hour waterpark session | All tickets include three hours access to the waterpark, subject to park closing times. | Arrive ready. Your time runs from entrance control to exit control. |
| Extra time | Extra time in the waterpark is listed at £1 per half-hour, per person. | Use only if your group is still enjoying the pools and it fits closing time. |
| Hydro Café extension | Guests purchasing a meal in Hydro Café have admission time extended by 30 minutes. | Useful for families eating inside, but confirm the rule on your date. |
| Spa entrance / add-on | Spa entrance and spa waterpark add-on prices can appear separately or included depending on the selected date/session example. | Do not assume spa is included with a normal waterpark ticket. |
Step-by-Step: Book Alpamare Scarborough Without Wasting the 3-Hour Session
Select your exact date and note the opening time, closing time, adult price, child price, toddler price, family ticket and any evening or late-session pricing.
The Alpamare homepage has recently displayed a payment-issue notice, so call admissions or pay on arrival if the official site says online payments are affected.
Bathing time starts when you pass entrance control and ends when you pass exit control, so changing, lockers and slow group movement reduce water time.
Cresta Run starts at 1.1m and age 6+. Olympic Run starts at 1.2m and age 6+. Black Run and Snowstorm start at 1.2m and age 8+.
Under-8s need in-water supervision by a responsible person aged 16+; under-4s should be one-to-one in the water.
Outside food and drink are not allowed, and Hydro Café food service stops one hour before close in selected-date examples.
Keep route, booking confirmation, contact number, parking plan and rule notes on your phone before leaving home.
Alpamare Scarborough Slides, Wave Pool, Outdoor Pools and Splash Areas
Alpamare is not only a pool. The official experience page lists four major slides, a gigantic wave pool, Splash and Play, heated outdoor garden pool, outdoor infinity pool, food and spa facilities.
| Attraction | Official detail | Practical family help |
|---|---|---|
| Cresta Run | Minimum 1.1m and age 6+. | Best first height check for children newly ready for bigger slides. |
| Olympic Run | Minimum 1.2m and age 6+. | Good shared-ride option for confident children and adults; check raft instructions on arrival. |
| Black Run | Minimum 1.2m and age 8+. | Treat as a bigger thrill ride, not a first slide for nervous children. |
| Snowstorm | Minimum 1.2m and age 8+. | Use for older, confident slide fans; do it earlier if queues build. |
| Wave pool | Official page says the wave pool erupts every 30 minutes with metre-high waves. | Let weak swimmers watch one wave cycle from shallower water first. |
| Splash and Play | Children’s play area includes slides, jets, tipping buckets and water cannons. | Best base for toddlers and children not ready for big slides. |
| Outdoor garden pool | Heated outdoor garden pool with whirlpools and bubble recliners. | Good reset zone after slides and wave pool time. |
| Outdoor infinity pool | Outdoor heated infinity pool with bay views; homepage notices may mention current availability changes. | Check same-day notices before planning the visit around the infinity pool. |
Alpamare Food Menu Prices: What to Know Before You Arrive
Users searching Alpamare food menu prices usually want to know whether they should eat before, buy inside or budget for a family meal. Alpamare’s official sources confirm food is available, but live menu prices should be checked directly with the venue.
Food is available inside
The experience page describes a restaurant with fresh and healthy choices, hot and cold drinks, and adult drink options.
Service stops before close
Selected-date ticket examples say the restaurant stops serving food one hour before close and drinks half an hour before close.
No outside food or drink
The admissions policy says food and beverage purchased elsewhere may not be brought onto the premises.
Meal extension
The ticket page says guests purchasing a meal in Hydro Café have admission time extended by 30 minutes.
Child Supervision, Refunds, Wristbands, Lockers and Safety Rules
These rules matter as much as ticket price. They decide whether your family can enter, use slides safely, bring food, store valuables and avoid extra charges.
| Rule area | Official-source detail | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Under-8 supervision | Children under 8 should be supervised in the water by a responsible person aged 16+; one person may supervise up to two under-8s. | Do not bring more under-8s than your adults can safely supervise in water. |
| Under-4 supervision | Children under 4 should be supervised one-to-one in the water. | Bring enough adults if toddlers are swimming. |
| Weak / non-swimmers | Weak/non-swimmers should be supervised by a responsible person aged 16+ and must wear double-chambered armbands or suitable flotation support. | Use flotation aids and stay within comfortable depth/wave zones. |
| Refunds | Purchased admission tickets are valid only for one day on first use; refunds are not given and unused ticket time is not reimbursed. | Check date, group size and rules before paying. |
| Wristband loss | A £10 fee may be charged for lost wristbands if no receipt is produced as proof of purchase. | Keep wristbands secure, especially with children. |
| Lockers | Guests are responsible for locking lockers and Alpamare does not accept liability for lost valuables. | Bring fewer valuables and double-check the locker before leaving. |
| Swimwear and hair | Normal swimwear is required and long hair must be tied back. | Pack hair ties, proper swimwear and spare dry clothes. |
| Outdoor weather | Outdoor facilities must be vacated in a thunderstorm; icy outdoor areas can create slip risk in cold weather. | Check same-day weather and do not base the whole visit on outdoor pools alone. |
